Reported robbery attempt leads to grow

Eureka Police Department officers investigating an attempted robbery report on the 3400 block of Summer Street ended up finding an indoor marijuana grow, according to a news release.

The investigation took officers to a residence rented by David Cory Lyman, where they reported observing an indoor grow. After obtaining a search warrant, officers located and seized nearly one ounce of hashish, over 700 marijuana plants, and more than 60 pounds of marijuana "shake," which is used in the hashish making process, the release states.

Lyman, 37, was booked into the Humboldt County jail on suspicion of cultivation of marijuana, possession of marijuana for sales, and maintaining a residence for sales and distribution of a controlled substance.

The release states officials determined no attempted robbery had occurred. The EPD asks anyone with information concerning suspected drug activity, or other nuisances occurring in the city to call the Problem Oriented Policing Unit at 441-4373.
